GLADsTONE,s EXPECTATIONS.
He does mot think he can BEAT ths
Government, but that its Majority
will be Greatly Reduced.

LONDON, August 26.-In an interview with a
representative OF the press to-day Mr.. Gladstone,
in reply to question as to whether he expected
to beat the government tonight, said: "No; we
can't expect to do that, but the TACT that year
ago the government majority was ll0. while now
the most Sanguine conservatives only anticipate
u majority OF sixty on prOclaiming the League,
shows what q tremendous change has come over
the face OF the country. The change Is coming
fact quite fast enough" MI. Gladstone seemed
to be In high spirits and declared that he was In
excellent health.

pretty generally believed here that Secretary

fact the Secretary, more than one occasion fnti
mated that IL depends entirely on the admiral
himself whether he remains In command or not
So far as can be learned there Is no possibility
OF Admiral Luce changing his attitude, and in all
probability he Will be released promptly the th

A change of time goes into effect to-day
(Jan. 26th) on the Detroit, Mackinac e.
Marquette railroad, and connections at all
points are maintained; at Mackinac City,
via the staunch transfer steamer Algomah
from st. Ignace with the Michigan Central
and Grand Rapids & Indiana railroads for
all points in Canada, the east, southeast
and south. The ice in the Straits of Mack
mac is In excellent condition this winter,
and the boat Is having no trouble In max
ing regular trips, while from the fact that
the straits are frozen evenly and solidly
no trouble is apprehended, the boat being
able to maintain "a channel, though in view
of the fact that she goes readily through
solid ice twenty-four inches in thickness
when occasion demands, it will be under
stood that the closing of her channel
would be but q temporary difficulty. At
Marquette connection is made with the A
p. NJ. train on the Marquette, Houghton &
Ontonagon railroad, which runs through
to the copper country, so that THE Mack
mac EShort Line" with its daily fast ey-
press Is In position to successfully han
die the business of the territory reached by
IL and its connections in Il manner to sat
isfy its patrons.

The Quartermaster General of the
State has furnished some figures rela-
tive to a bill proposed to equalize sol
diers bounties. These figures show
that up to October, 1868, total of
Sill men had been paid State boun-
ty of $50 each, an aggregate amount
ing to S405,550. Up to October, 1864,
there we're 1924 men paid a bounty
of 800 each, aggregating S5S2,400.
From that date up to October, 1865,
when bounties ceased, 1915 men
were paid $3.50 each, aggregating
s696,750. The State paid these men
in bounties total Of 81 ,6S4,700. 1t
is now urged that those who received
no State bounty should be placed on
the same footing as those who enlisted
later and did not serve so long.
Michigan furnished 10000 men, and
according to the above figures, II APO
of them received no State bounty.
To give each one of these $3.50, the
highest State bounty received by any
one, would require S10,715,000. To
further equalize it, the Sill men who
we're paid $50 bounty should have an
additional 800, and this award would
take SS11,1O0. To give the 1924
who received 800 an additional $50
requires 1921 200, making total of
81 81, 300. 1t is not at all likely
the Legislature will pass the bill.-Ex.

The astounding attitude Of Con-
gress in refusing to do away with I'M
necessary taxes is owing to the oppo-
sition of powerful corporations and
individuals who make money out of
the taxes. Taxes are levied, not to
supply the Treasury, but TO fill the
pockets of those who may be called
congressional favorites. The situa-
ton is not unlike the one which exist
ed in France before the revolution.
There the taxes were farmed out to
individuals who undertook the ex-
pense and labor of collecting them,
receiving large percentage upon the
receipts. This system was overgrown
by great abuses, and was one of the
chief causes of the revolution. This
country is now face to face with SINH.
lar evils. The people find their rep
resentatives refusing to throw off tax
es that are not needed. They see them
trying to find some way to spend the
revenues whose accumulation threat
ems the country with grave perils. 1t
is situation without parallel in his
tory. There are many examples of
profigate tyrants who increased the
public burdens to minister to their
ambition, their cruelties and their
lust. But neither Nero, nor Caligula,
nor Charles TX, nor Louis XIV, nor
the regent D'Orleans, ever took from
a suffering people more than they
wanted. 1t is left for an American
Congress chosen by the people to pre-
sent the amazing spectacle of rulers
Wrestling from the hand of toll reve-
nues which they do not need, and
which they cannot devise methods of
spending.-N. Y. Star.
